   12 July 2007 - Patton Oswalt, Mark Ronso

   Patton Oswalt:   
   	- He chapped his penis.  Ugh.  He was walking in Salt Lake City   
   but for some reason didn't wear underwear despite the cold.  It looked   
   like Andy Rooney crying.  This lead to complications at a fitness club.   
      
   	   
   	- He was interviewed by actual children for the Ratatouille   
   promotions.  He forgot how much he depends on cynicism and negativity to   
   communicate.  ``Was it fun working with Brad Bird?''  ``It was really   
   fun!''  Bleed!  Spiders out his ears!   
   	   
   	- He was in North Hampton, Massachusetts, to promote it, which   
   turns out to be a lesbian enclave.  With Janeane Garofalo, he looked   
   like part of the cutest lesbian couple in town.   
   	   
   	- The Kentucky Fried Chicken Famous Bowl rant he did last time   
   got a lot of response for the show.  It's like ``give me two scoops of   
   despair and cover it with I Give Up'', their most popular thing ever.   
   They've added a biscuit in the side of the bowl.  That didn't come from   
   corporate: employees sold it to customers and saw employers doing that.   
   Corporate realized they could charge for that.   
   	   
   	- If you're at the point in your life where you're getting a   
   Famous Bowl, shoving in the biscuit is the last creativity you have   
   left.  And now they've taken that away from their customers.  So he asks   
   the company to -- add some coffeehouse flute from the 60s -- here's a   
   poem he's written.   
   	   
   	- Don't take away my biscuit, KFC./  It's how I express my   
   creativity./  At the end of a long day's misery/ it's my bowl, my heart,   
   my biscuit and me./  Don't take away my biscuit, KFC,/ and leave me   
   adrift on a starchy sea./  Corn and potatoes, cheese and gravy,/ they   
   don't bring the joy in this out to me./  Don't take away my biscuit,   
   KFC./  You wouldn't like me when I'm an-guh-ry./  My hair will turn red/   
   and my skin will turn pasty.  Don't believe me?  Switch to camera three.   
      
   	   
   	- Conan enjoyed his final visit to the show.   
      
      
   Mark Ronson:   
   	- From 'Version': I have no idea.  Sorry.
